Chapter 44: Frankness
As soon as the words fell, Sima Shu's tall and handsome figure pressed in front of him.
Zhou Yao's heartbeat accelerated by two beats, and a wave of joy rushed up, and a sweet smile naturally appeared.
Lu Qi'an introduced Zhou Yao: "This is the owner of this garden, Sima Shu of Cardiac Surgery."
Sima Shu glanced at Zhou Jin coldly, and sitting next to Zhou Jin, Zhou Jin felt a cold breath.
Zhou Jia sensed that Sima Shu was angry, and guessed that he must be jealous because he was drinking and talking freely with Lu Qi'an. Even if he and Lu Qi'an were frank friends, Sima Shu was also displeased.
Zhou Jin decided to pass the test with softness, so he shook Sima Shu's arm and said coquettishly: "Don't be angry, I was wrong, I will never go out with other boys in the future."
Sima Shu still had a cold face and asked Zhou Yao: "You promise?"
"I promise", Zhou Yao raised his hand and swore.
Sima Shu breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed the unhappiness in his heart.
Lu Qi'an looked at Zhou Yao, then at Sima Shu, understood a little, pointed at the two of them, and said, "You... You two, oh", Lu Qi'an pointed at Zhou Jin and said, "It turns out that you are Sima Shu's girlfriend."
Zhou Yao nodded "um", and Sima Shu said coldly to Lu Qi'an: "Since you know, stay away from her in the future."
Lu Qi'an didn't answer Sima Shu's words, but asked, "When did this happen?"
"It's been more than half a year," Zhou Jin replied.
Lu Qi'an complained: "Sima Shu, do you say that you are enough brothers, we have grown up together since childhood, for so long, you actually hide it from me, your confidentiality work is really good."
Sima Shu replied coldly: "Could it be that I marry a daughter-in-law, and I still have to ask you for instructions?"
Lu Qi'an covered his heart, pretended to be sad, and said: "You are a typical forgetfulness."
Sima Shu ignored him and grabbed Zhou Yao's hand.
"The sake you want", the middle-aged man who opened the door for Lu Qi'an brought a jar of wine.
Lu Qi'an asked: "Zhou Yao and I drank this plum blossom wine very well, why did you change the sake for us?"
The middle-aged man smiled, did not speak, but directly moved the jar of plum blossom wine.
Lu Qi'an resisted and asked Sima Shu: "Hey, Sima Shu, what are you doing, I want to drink plum blossom wine, not sake."
Sima Shu glanced at him, and did not reply to his words, but warned Lu Qi'an: "In the future, don't drink with my girlfriend."
"Sima Shu, don't drink, drink vinegar instead", Lu Qi'an watched Sima Shu pour wine and said dissatisfiedly.
Zhou Yao picked up the sake, tasted it, nodded and said, "Well, I finally know what the wine used in the licorice soup tastes like."
Sima Shu's pursed mouth soothed, he was very relieved, Zhou Yao really knew his heart. With smart people, it is easy, you don't have to tell everything, you can move your hands and moves, and your mind has been understood.
Lu Qi'an was puzzled and asked, "What kind of boiled licorice soup?"
Zhou Jia replied to him: "Sima Shu, this is for me to learn knowledge while tasting wine." Licorice soup is our famous Chinese medicine prescription for the treatment of heart palpitations. In the formula, sake is used as a tool to make the patient promote the hundred veins and pop the blood qi, and the meridians flow naturally. ”
"Oh", Lu Qi'an only understood, but he still asked: "Sima Shu, a physician of Western medicine, is not always proud of Western medicine's rescue of heart disease, how can he be interested in any licorice soup?
Zhou Jian looked at Sima Shu, and Sima Shu had no intention of explaining to Lu Qi'an. Zhou Yao had no choice but to continue to explain: "When I changed departments during my undergraduate internship, the teachers of the Department of Cardiology were really disdainful of us Chinese medicine, but they did recognize the licorice soup very much. From the perspective of clinical effect, licorice decoction has a miraculous effect on relieving functional arrhythmia, palpitations, shortness of breath, etc. ”
Lu Qi'an nodded, took a sip of sake, and asked, "Then what's so particular about this sake?"
Zhou Jia replied: "There are three kinds of liquor recorded in the "Zhou Li", one is Shijiu, one is Baijiu, and the other is sake. These three types of sake are rice wine, which is made from rice and koji. ”
Lu Qi'an took a sip and nodded yes: "Sure enough, it's rice wine."
Zhou Jia smiled and continued: "Those who drink and eat as they go, for the sake of wine, it is specially for those who do things, such as sedan chair drivers, blowers, and flag bearers. Those who brew in winter and in spring, called liquor, are brewed in winter, sealed in jars, continue to be purified and esterified, and taken out in spring to entertain guests."
Lu Qi'an asked: "Then what was opened in the summer is sake?"
"Clever," Zhou Jin exclaimed.
Lu Qi'an said: "As the name suggests, it has one more season than liquor, and the wine is more transparent and pure, so it is called sake."
Zhou Yao nodded, and Lu Qi'an then asked, "Then is this sake used to sacrifice heaven and earth and ancestors?"
Zhou Yao blurted out to him, "How do you know?"
Lu Qi'an replied: "What an important activity the sacrifice of the ancients is, and wine must be indispensable during the sacrifice. The purpose of the wine you mentioned is to do business and feast, but it is missing sacrifices, so I guess so."
Zhou Jin couldn't help but praise Sima Shu: "It's really smart."
And then...
Then, when Zhou Jia saw Sima Shu's gloomy face, he knew that he was wrong.
I actually blurted out other boys in front of Sima Shu!
Sima Shu glanced at Zhou Jin with cold eyes, and Zhou Jin quickly lowered his head.
Lu Qi'an was not only fearless, but said: "Sima Shu, the way you stare at Zhou Jiao is very similar to the way my golden retriever begged for food."
Zhou Yao laughed, but she knew that Sima Shu must be staring at her with the coldest eyes at this time, so she didn't dare to raise her head.
Sima Shu moved his eyes from Zhou Yao to Lu Qi'an, and said to Lu Qi'an: "It's time for you to wash your face."
Zhou Yao laughed out again, are these two hurting each other?
Zhou Jin couldn't help but look at Lu Qi'an again, when he saw him for the first time, he felt that he was too dark. Just by glancing at him, Zhou Jin wanted to turn on the light.
However, although Lu Qi'an is dark, he is a little handsome, he is tall, and he has a cute little dimple on his right cheek, which is impressive.
Especially when laughing!
Lu Qi'an protested: "Sima Shu, you expose my shortcomings again, what's wrong with me being black, you are white to cover up your ugliness, I am so handsome..."
Lu Qi'an made a very handsome move, and then said to Zhou Jin: "I'll go wash my face, you can talk."
"Hmm", Zhou Jin nodded, and Lu Qi'an added: "However, I am slightly drunk and need to wash my face, don't think about it."
Zhou Jin laughed and glanced appreciatively at Lu Qi'an's departing back.
Sima Shu squeezed Zhou Yao's hand vigorously, and said dissatisfiedly: "You can only look at me with such eyes."
Zhou Jia hurriedly said: "Lu Qi'an and I are pure friendship, don't misunderstand."
"Is there a pure friendship between men and women?"
Zhou Jia replied: "Yes, the uglier the purer"!
Zhou Jiao's words not only skillfully replied to Lu Qi'an's refutation of Sima Shu's words just now, but also made it clear that Lu Qi'an was ugly, which made Sima Shu happy.
Sima Shu couldn't help but clench Zhou Yao's hand, feeling comfortable, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Jin took the opportunity to say: "You tell me about Lu Qi'an"!
